I long to live to see the day
the sea and the waves will end their fight
for who owns and rules the seaways
and the shores.
It’s an endless fight,
as endless as the fight between races,
as endless as the fight between good and evil,
or light and darkness.
The sea holds secrets
the waves have vowed to broadcast to the world,
so they fight day and night
to subdue each other.
The sea denies having a hand in ship wrecks
but the waves put the blame on
the sea’s greed and voracious appetite,
so they fight daily to blackmail each other.
Restless sea and restless waves
in a restless fight that speaks
much of the restless life of a restless man
trapped in the web of a restless world.
